    After Ye Zugui's order was issued, the squadron of the Chinese Pacific Fleet immediately stopped the bombardment and slowly turned around. Seeing that the enemy fleet was turning around and evacuating, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. San Francisco Coast Defense Position immediately ordered a halt to the attack to save money.  ammunition.  1(1)

    Seventeen aircraft of the Chinese Air Force have begun to land on the deck of the USS China aircraft carrier. During the landing process, one aircraft lost its balance during landing due to excessive injuries and fell into the vast sea. In the end, only ten  The six aircraft landed safely and steadily on the deck of the China aircraft carrier.

    After cooperating with the aircraft to land, the ground crew on the China aircraft carrier immediately stepped forward to extinguish the thick billowing fire smoke on several aircraft and repair several seriously damaged aircraft.  This military raid on San Francisco was barely a success.  The damage to the Pacific Fleet squadron commanded by Ye Zugui was not very serious. Although several warships were hit by bullets and caught fire on the decks, they were not fatal injuries. There were only dozens of casualties on board.

    In this attack on San Francisco, not a single ship was sunk, and there were dozens of casualties. The Air Force lost four aircraft. Compared with the losses of the US military, this loss was somewhat insignificant.  Twenty Chinese Air Force planes continued bombing over San Francisco for more than an hour. At least a thousand buildings in San Francisco were turned into ruins, and countless Americans were trapped under the rubble.

    After the Air Force bombed the city of San Francisco, it also carried out repeated bombings on the US military's anti-aircraft artillery positions. Dozens of the US military's newly developed anti-aircraft guns turned into a pool of molten iron. Under the command of Ye Zugui, the four battleships  The main battery also inflicted heavy damage on San Francisco's shore defense positions.

    Even under the fierce fire from the US coastal defense positions, Ye Zugui commanded dozens of main guns from four battleships to inflict a devastating blow on the US coastal defense positions. The forts of half of the US coastal defense positions were shrouded in a cloud of smoke.  , the number of casualties in the US military's coastal defense positions in the hasty battle was no less than a hundred.

    After reorganizing their formation, the squadron of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, after causing great damage to San Francisco, began to sail back in the direction of Hawaii. This time, what Ye Zugui brought back to Hawaii was not only the fruitful results of this assault.  , and Air Force planes marked various firepower points of the US military when they bombed San Francisco, including the specific distribution of large-caliber steel cannons on US coast defense positions and the hidden locations of anti-aircraft gun and artillery positions.

    A U.S. anti-aircraft artillery position in San Francisco.

    Roosevelt got up from the ground, dusted himself hard, and looked around. He saw that the anti-aircraft artillery position he was in had become a mess. Countless anti-aircraft gun parts were scattered everywhere. Most of the  The anti-aircraft guns had all been destroyed by the fierce bombing by Chinese Air Force aircraft. Less than half of the anti-aircraft guns on this anti-aircraft artillery position could continue to be used.

    The last bombing just now raised several feet of smoke and dust on this position, and even Roosevelt was covered in it. This shows how powerful the Chinese Air Force's bombing was this time.

    "Mr. Secretary, are you injured?" Major General Marshall dusted himself off, looked up at Roosevelt, and asked in surprise.

    After Marshall's reminder, Roosevelt reacted and felt severe labor pains coming from his body. When he touched his forehead, he found it was extremely sticky and smelled fishy. His hands were covered with black and red blood. It turned out that a stone had been killed in the bombing just now.  It was lifted up by a huge explosion shock wave and hit Roosevelt squarely in the forehead.  There were scratches of varying degrees on other parts of Roosevelt's body. Roosevelt smiled bitterly. This Tang Jian was really a man who must retaliate. Not long ago, he failed, but he didn't expect that it would all be paid back to him in just a few days.

    Roosevelt shook his head and asked: "I'm fine, just a little bruised. How is our anti-aircraft gun position?"

    Major General Marshall replied: "Mr. Minister, half of our anti-aircraft gun positions have been destroyed this time, and only less than thirty can continue to be used."

    Roosevelt secretly clenched his fists. Unexpectedly, under the bombing, the anti-aircraft artillery position he carefully prepared would suffer such heavy losses. This was just a one-time exploratory attack. If Tang Jian really invaded on a large scale, this anti-aircraft artillery would not be able to survive at all.  There is no way to stop the Chinese Air Force's repeated bombings.

    ¡°We must develop our own aircraft immediately so that we can compete with the Chinese Air Force in the air. This is the most urgent thought in Roosevelt¡¯s mind now.  However, in fact, although the aircraft was first invented by the Wright brothers in the United States, China came from behind and was at least several years ahead of the United States in aircraft technology.

    Since the end of the last Sino-Japanese War, the U.S. Department of Defense has allocated a huge sum of money for the development of aircraft. Until now when China and the United States went to war, the U.S. Department of Defense had only come up with a prototype of the aircraft.  After weapons, American aircraft have many shortcomingsFirst, it is impossible to overcome the problem of flight altitude during night navigation. It is extremely easy to drive into the sea due to loss of reference objects and unclear vision when flying at night. Second, when landing, because of the weapons loaded on the fuselage, the fuselage  Unbalanced, it's easy to crash when landing.

    At this time, these problems encountered by the United States in developing aircraft are slowly being solved. Roosevelt hopes that when the Sino-American war officially breaks out, the U.S. Air Force can participate in the war, but he does not know whether it will be too late.

    "Mr. Minister, look!" Major General Marshall said with a choked voice.

    The rapid-fire artillery position where Roosevelt was located was located on a hillside in San Francisco, overlooking half of San Francisco. Sensing something strange about Marshall, Roosevelt took a step forward, and the sight in front of him suddenly made him freeze on the spot.

    The entire San Francisco was engulfed in flames, and the billowing smoke covered half of San Francisco. The entire city of San Francisco was devastated, and countless houses collapsed. A large number of residents ran from the burning houses to the streets, facing their completely destroyed homes.  , slapping her thighs and crying.  Cries of grief and anger lingered over San Francisco, and the entire San Francisco had fallen into complete chaos.

    Roosevelt gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Immediately order the troops to participate in fire-fighting operations. In addition, collect the wreckage of several downed Chinese aircraft and transport them to the Ministry of Defense immediately, so that the scientists can develop the U.S-made aircraft in the shortest possible time."  Combat aircraft, join the air battle!¡±

    "Yes, Mr. Minister!" Major General Marshall said with a military salute on the spot.

    "At the same time, report the intelligence on San Francisco to the President, and ask the President to speed up the delivery of supplies to San Francisco, especially to transfer all the remaining 150 anti-aircraft guns to San Francisco. Tang Jian is just a tentative attack, and subsequent attacks will  It will be even more violent. Also, notify the Navy Department and have the North Atlantic Fleet speed up to San Francisco. Defeating the Pacific Fleet as soon as possible will save the American people from the suffering of war!"

    "Okay, Mr. Secretary, I'll go right away!" Major General Marshall hurried to the U.S. military headquarters in San Francisco to report the news to Washington.

    "What are you doing standing still? Go immediately with the army to rescue the people trapped in the fire!" Roosevelt snapped at several senior generals around him.  Several senior generals had already experienced Roosevelt's rage and hurriedly led their guards down the mountain.

    Roosevelt glanced back at the sea in the east, and his heart was extremely complicated. Tang Jian's revenge this time was not unkind. Roosevelt even began to regret it. If he hadn't gone his own way and insisted on assassinating Tang Jian, San Francisco would not have suffered.  Tang Jian was so crazy about revenge.

    "Tang Jian, let us fight to the death on the vast Pacific Ocean!" Roosevelt murmured in his heart

    Above the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese Navy and Army Command Headquarters in Honolulu, Hawaii.

    "I didn't expect that the Air Force lost three aircraft. It seems that San Francisco's air defense force is not weak. It mobilized so many new anti-aircraft guns in such a short period of time." After listening to Ye Zugui's battle report, Tang Jian frowned slightly.  head.

    He originally thought that this exploratory attack was mainly to explore the firepower deployment of the US military in San Francisco, but what he did not expect was that four of the twenty aircraft were lost at once. These aircraft are China's treasures, and every day  Even an airplane is hard-won. It takes the hard work of countless experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and costs a lot of money to build.

    But this retaliatory action was not without some gains. At least it detected the firepower distribution map of the US military in San Francisco, destroyed many anti-aircraft guns that posed a huge threat to aircraft, and reduced half of San Francisco to ruins.  These alone are the best revenge for the assassination planned by Roosevelt. I am afraid these losses will make Roosevelt heartbroken.

    "Where is the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet now?" Tang Jian asked.

    "President, according to intelligence reports from the CIA, the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet has crossed Cape Horn and arrived on the west coast of Chile. In other words, the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet has officially entered the Pacific. It is estimated that it will be as soon as fifteen days.  It will enter the North Pacific and reach San Francisco within a month." Chen Chusheng said.

    "It's coming pretty fast!" Tang Jian sneered: "Ye Zugui, order the entire fleet to be on standby, keep firing day and night, ready for orders at any time, and prepare to meet with the U.S. North Atlantic Fleet near the equator in the Pacific."

    Britain, 10 Downing Street, the British Prime Minister's Office.

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we must immediately dispatch the British ocean fleet to the Far East! Once China successfully defeats the United States, it will become the overlord in the Pacific! By then, British interests in the Far East will be??It has been greatly affected. Do you want to see a powerful Chinese country threaten the interests of the empire on which the sun never sets?  China's actions have seriously hindered the British Empire's global policy!  Now that the Chinese Pacific Fleet is basically all out, the local defense is empty, which is a perfect opportunity!  "Churchill said solemnly.

    Chamberlain put down his pipe and asked: "Your Excellency Churchill, do you really want the British Empire to go to war with China?"
